The Advanced Diploma in Climate Risk Management is a Advanced Diploma (UK Level 5-equivalent) route delivered by the London School of Petroleum and Energy (LSPE), a specialist division of Harold International College of London. The programme runs across a duration band of 12 to 15 months and is designed to sharpen your senior operational skill in the identification, measurement and mitigation of climate-related risks in energy portfolios. Content is aligned with recognised UK and international energy bodies, and reflects the way modern petroleum, energy and transition businesses actually work in practice.

By the end of the Advanced Diploma in Climate Risk Management, students are able to speak the language of the sustainability, policy & energy transition function with confidence, apply structured tools to physical climate risk and transition risk, and step into their next role or further study route with credible, industry-referenced study behind them.
